Key stat: Did not allow a single sack across all of 2016, including the playoffs.

Morse has started at center for the Chiefs over the past two seasons and has been a solid player across the board. He had some poor games last year, but had an excellent run of run-blocking performances too, and over the season had nine perfect games of pass protection. He didn’t allow a sack all season, and surrendered a total of 14 pressures across more than 1,000 snaps including the playoffs.”

PFF also noted that Morse had a pass block efficiency of 98.4 last season, the seventh-best among centers.

Morse was definitely the team’s best offensive lineman last season and the best thing is he’s only entering his third season in the league. The 2015 second-round pick still has his best football ahead of him, and may even play well enough to make the Pro Bowl in the future.

Another thing that could help propel Morse into superstar status is the continuity on the Chiefs’ offensive line. All five of Kansas City’s projected O-line starters are under contract for at least two more seasons.

That means the group has plenty of time to build chemistry which is extremely important for the position. Morse is put in a great situation when his teammates are playing well.
